My Dad has been in the Hawthorns Care Home for over six months now.Down to them he is feeling a lot better and sleeping better during the night.The staff from the management to the carers are all very nice and are willing to talk to you about any needs my Dad may need during his stay there.They have
doctor who comes into see the people there and check their health every week and a fitness class one day a week and other things for the people to do who are there.I can not thank them enough for all they have done for my Dad.

I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for the wonderful care that Hawthorns Care Home in Edgbaston has provided for my friend's grandma. From the very beginning, the staff have shown kindness, patience, and genuine concern for her wellbeing. She has always been treated with respect and dignity,
and it's clear that the team goes above and beyond to make her feel comfortable and valued.
The care team pays attention to her individual needs and preferences, which makes all the difference. I can see that she is in good hands, and it gives us peace of mind. I would highly recommend Hawthorns Care Home to anyone looking for a safe, supportive, and caring environment for their loved ones.
Thank you for everything you do.

My dad was with The Hawthorns till March 23rd when he was taken into hospital. As his cancer had got worse and he could not breathe, he died in hospital on the 24th. The home were great with him. I can't thank them enough, all the staff were friendly and helpful. They looked after my dad very well.
He loved it there. The meals are good. I can't say thank you enough for how they looked after him. I will miss them all, they became like family to us.

The management and staff are all very friendly and in my opinion do an excellent job. Since June this year, my brother has been a resident and he is very happy with the care he receives. I call to see him on a regular basis and I am always made very welcome by the management and the staff. Management
is always available to discuss anything you may wish to. Overall the service is very good. Thank you.

I know my friend rates this home and its facilities very highly. When I visited my friend he always seemed very happy and contented. He is very complimentary about the staff and the food and because he has friends and relatives visiting he has a constant supply of books to entertain him. Things have
now settled down after his initial confusion caused by his illness and he is content to be here and complimentary about his surroundings.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Hawthorns appears to have a happy friendly atmosphere, staff are tolerant to my friend's bad behaviour. The place is clean and homely.
She seems to be happy, my concern was not being able to visit her in her room and I've not seen any activities taking place. I do not know what the food is like. The
conservatory where I was allowed to visit her was often cold, I have since been told that I can visit her in her room, but I have never been shown her room - I am allowed to visit her in the day room which is better. I am satisfied now!

My mother has been a resident at The Hawthorns for many years. During Covid, isolation and lockdown, the staff and owners have shown my family huge support and understanding. My mother's care is outstanding, and although bedridden now, her skin has remained intact, and she is very well looked after.
Excellent care.
I would recommend The Hawthorns to anyone in the same position as ourselves and looking for a well-run and caring home.
We can't thank them enough for looking after our special mum.

After visiting many homes, the moment I stepped into The Hawthorns, I knew it was the place that my Aunt would be happy in. A real 'home from home' and the staff always go that extra mile to make all the residents comfortable, relaxed and above all happy. My Aunt has been very happy here. She is encouraged
to join in all the activities, but at the same time, her privacy has been respected. The care is second to none.

The staff know the residents by name, character and some of their history. (They know me by name too). The staff are attentive, available, friendly and mostly smiling. The Hawthorns offers a range of food and activities but I don't think my friend the resident, responds to these. She is left to sit
and doze. The house is clean and (unlike other homes we have visited) never smelly.

My stepdad has been at this care home for just over two years. He has very bad dementia. When he arrived he was very underweight as I was unaware he had not been eating properly.
Since being in the care home he has put on a healthy amount of weight. He seems happy in himself although he doesn’t know
where he is. The staff are always friendly. The home is clean and the rooms are fresh with regular linen changes.
My dad is always clean and looks respectable.
Visiting is welcomed and refreshments offered.
Entertainment is put on occasionally and photos are shown of how the service users are enjoying themselves.
I have been well informed if accidents (falls) happen and they take appropriate action where needed.
The manager is very approachable and is available most days to answer questions.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.447)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.447) out of 10 for The Hawthorns is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.847 for The Hawthorns is calculated as follows: ( (61 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.847
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.6 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Hawthorns is based on 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 = 3.6
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 22 registered maximum number of service users is 4.4, which has been reached with 6 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
